In an information society, it is necessary for people to be conscious of life-long learning, to adapt
themselves to constant development, to be willing to take training on skills they need and to use
information and communication technologies effectively. Especially due to the responsibilities of academics for becoming pioneers of change and development, it is a must for them to give priority to their professional development so that they can avoid academic obsolescence. In this respect, it is quite important to determine the professional development needs of academics and to organize learning systems and activities for them. Academics are in need of technologies which will allow them to access the necessary information within the shortest time and which will contribute to the development of their professional skills. Today, mobile technologies are regarded as the most appropriate technologies for professional development of academics thanks to a wide range of opportunities these technologies provide. Academics’ use of mobile technologies and their views about m-learning are quite important to determine their perceptions of m-learning. In addition, due to the high level of competition in the information society, it is also important for universities to keep up with and make use of the developments in information and communication technologies. In this respect, it is necessary to develop m-learning applications for higher education institutions. In this way, experiences shared in the development phase will lead to the development of professional m-learning applications.
